‘Game of Thrones’: Rains of Castamere Recaps, Interviews and Podcasts!

So the Red Wedding has finally happened, and there is more content than just YouTube reaction videos.

First up is a Cast of Kings Podcast, who have an extra long 2 hour episode talking about the episode. They really do a good job of speaking about all the different elements that went into this episode.

The Starks may be history, but I’m starting to realize inescapable fatalism may well be the point of Martin’s pessimistic epic; the pages of, as Gillie puts it, “very old books” is where everyone is headed eventually. No matter how many letters Tywin writes, or how many scores Walder and Roose settle, winter is still coming. It just arrives a little earlier in the North.

Finally Interviews are Coming.

George R.R. Martin

GRRM talks to EW about why he wrote the Red Wedding and how soon he knew that they would die:

I knew it almost from the beginning. Not the first day, but very soon. I’ve said in many interviews that I like my fiction to be unpredictable. I like there to be considerable suspense. I killed Ned in the first book and it shocked a lot of people. I killed Ned because everybody thinks he’s the hero and that, sure, he’s going to get into trouble, but then he’ll somehow get out of it. The next predictable thing is to think his eldest son is going to rise up and avenge his father. And everybody is going to expect that. So immediately [killing Robb] became the next thing I had to do.

Once Madden wrapped the Red Wedding sequence, he says he left set immediately, “got straight to the airport and got on a plane because I didn’t want to be there anymore.” He headed home to London and “cried the whole way. I was the crazy boy on the plane crying.”
